The Gaming Outsider

The Gaming Outsider Podcast is a show dedicated to video gaming of all kinds with a focus on the community. Here at The GO, we don't subscribe to just one platform, and we realize that we don't have the ability to play every game that's out there. Our goal is to discuss ours and our listener's perspectives on current and former games that we have played while keeping a positive environment.

Scott, Josh, and Zach discuss whether or not they sell their games after completing them and what outlets they use to get the most out of their money. They also talk about quite a few rumors, including the "leaked" Nintendo NX controller photo and the upgrade for the PS4. All three have played quite a bit of "Clash Royale", which gets mentioned along with more "Far Cry: Primal" and "The Division" talk. Scott also started the "Fallout 4" DLC called "Automatron".

The entire GO crew is back for the first time in over a month, and we discuss whether we replay current or retro games now that we've reached adulthood. Scott, Josh, and Robby discuss "The Division" from Ubisoft, and Zach shares his further adventures in "Far Cry; Primal". There's also quite a bit of news from the Games Development Conference including a price point and release date for Playstation VR as well as the upcoming cross-platform play initiated by Microsoft.

The GO cast welcomes first-timer JR Reding from the Tangent Break Podcast to share in their discussion on the ongoing debate between Gameplay and Mechanics. Robby's back, so we have a pretty lengthy "whatcha been playin'?" segment, followed up by news about the closure of Lionhead, and a price point/release date for "No Man's Sky".
